hehe...yer, its a bit like that :D

Rang up yesterday. I was expecting a few weeks, but Con said mine should be ready sometime next week! woot! I was expecting 3 weeks or something, so pretty happy its a lot less than i expected. Hopefully its all sweet and as good as when i bought it (if not better)

They cut me a good deal on my grill and bumper, so that is all getting done too at the same time. Finally no more greyness !

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

need to go and visit and see how my babys going... need to see if they can get it done in the next couple of weeks... i need my car back the soarers driving me mental!! but at the sametime still fun to drive :)

Hey you're not driving a falcon that won't go above about 40km/hr up a hill, the head gasket is probably about to bust at any moment, and well I hate holding up traffic!! that is NOT fun anymore :)

My mate was in hysterics when he drove it the other day :)

Mine should be back in a few days I think.. go remind them to chase up that suspension place where it is atm!

its outside their shop without the front bar man i pass it every day :) i am going down tomorow to see when mines going to be ready.... i want it back :)

will ask con about ur one gords :)

Gordon - was just down at palm... my car should hopefully be ready in 2 weeks max :( ur car however is waiting on the front bar... suspensions been done its been sitting and waiting for a few days cause the front bar is ***t man.

there are cracks all thru it which will show up thru the entire paint job and con says he doesnt really want to paint it and have it leaving there looking like that. Honestly man id get a new front bar... maybe not something as low as that either... or just get a new 400r bar i spose... but the one thats their doesnt look crash hot.

hehe shes outside enjoying the sunshine :) very shiney i must say... dropped off the mesh and my car will be ready by next week... i cant go down until next friday anyways so thats whe i will be picking her up... give her the thrashing she so loves and then parking it for another 2 weeks until i pay my rego :D

hehe hey pred i seen ya car again today... looks pretty much the same :( theres a nice 350z down there now and im pretty sure i seen the rear end of my car.. which looked painted :D might pop down before work and take a look :D

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
